Lyrics: Riptides

These days I say goodbye without opening my mouth

I just stare into the distance til you figure it out

'Cause I feel as invested as a border guard

Who's seen too many people leaving to take it too hard


I'm too tired to talk, I'm too tired to end the war

And I can't seem to hold it together anymore


And my old haunts, each one's a trigger and I'm holding the gun

Like a perp frozen in your headlights who forgot to run

And I'm overcome by the voices multiplying in the crowd

That's been swelling in between my ears and growing frighteningly loud


I'm too tired to talk, I'm too tired to end the war

And I can't seem to hold it together anymore

I'm too tired to start, I can't bring you up to speed

There's too many riptides in this ocean to proceed


And though I'm feeling fine

Roughly half the time

There's a fatal flaw

In my heart's design


I'm too tired to talk, I'm too tired to end the war

And I can't seem to hold it together anymore

I'm too tired to start, I can't bring you up to speed

There's too many riptides in this ocean to proceed


There's too many riptides in this ocean to proceed
